You might want to continue with that thought, Gregor.

Re: Freefall 3: Death Ray Byproducts
Yeah jokes on him: now he meets the alien whose morality literally runs on what humans would call "cartoonishly morally bankrupt corruption and deceptive selfishness". when he is the guy introduced with the phrase "but whats the moral code you ascribe to?".
being open-minded about Florence is easy, she is Florence, she is reasonable, humble and kind. Sam on the other hand is probably the walking incarnation of all the things his parents warned him about.

And Florence is back in what is apparently the most revealing outfit she owns.

Wow, I never thought I'd see Stanley draw a hatch blush. Sometimes it's very hard to do.

Re: Freefall 3: Death Ray Byproducts
Which clearly reveals ... one well-defined ribcage. I wonder how much musculature she needs to keep herself upright and for her level of activity? I was kind of imagining it to be more like a bodybuilder, since she's a wolf, but I hadn't thought it through - Stanley draws her with only about as much as a highly active female human. Although she also has extra bone structure to go along with it, I guess.
I'm pretty much the opposite of concise. If I fail to get to the point, please ask me and I'm happy to (attempt to) clarify.

Re: Freefall 3: Death Ray Byproducts
Normal humans actually have very poor weight to strength ratios for their muscles compared to most animals. Most animals have a much higher ratio, so a little muscle would go a lot farther. Florence shouldn't need to bulk up to add some strength.

Re: Freefall 3: Death Ray Byproducts
Just three weeks. At 0.05g.
Pournelle/Niven Transfer is at 8 m/s2. Earth gravity is 9.8 m/s2. Roughly 0.82g.
Florence was less deconditioned due to her adherence to exercise to try to mitigate the effects of low gravity, but do keep in mind that she is digitigrade, not plantigrade, which probably makes it a bit harder for her to support herself.
Not to mention that she went quadrupedal for her exercise, rather than bipedal, so some of the support muscles didn't get the use she needs.Last edited by sihnfahl; 2021-02-02 at 10:27 AM.
May you get EXACTLY what you wish for.

Re: Freefall 3: Death Ray Byproducts
If memory serves, that has to do with how hard she pushes herself.

And is keeping himself in shape. Makes you wonder if he's one of the fastest sprinters on Planet Jean.

Sam's ability to take the wrong message from whatever people tell him may be his most human trait.

Right now, Sam is really lucky Florence can't get through the door by herself.

Oh, I think we have an idea of how much fuss there would be over losing a nuclear reactor. Right fellow Playgrounders?

Yeah, that's a problem with their site. You have to double link, because the first link will break with the next update.

And in this update Sam's learns of the hazards of traveling with someone even more famous than himself.

Re: Freefall 3: Death Ray Byproducts
Kinda love how the author felt the need to point out that Sam's pressure suit (which we already know has leaks) isn't vacuum rated.
Also love how Sam will risk his life to provide a signature the robot doesn't even necessarily want.

Re: Freefall 3: Death Ray Byproducts
Does anyone know why Florence's suit only has one big leg?

Re: Freefall 3: Death Ray Byproducts
I'd say it's because you can't walk anyway in 0g, so the one-leg design is cheaper and more efficient?
Yes, I am slightly egomaniac. Why didn't you ask?

Re: Freefall 3: Death Ray Byproducts
I'd guess it's because a concave separation between two legs would be a weak point where mechanical stress could turn into tears easily, nor do hips' position and range of motion lend themselves to the type of reinforcement you see around Florence's shoulders and elbows.
